A review by literaryjunarin
The Last by Hanna Jameson
2.0
In the blurb of this book, it said that this is for the fans of Annihilation and The Girl with All the Gifts (loved them) but this book doesn't even compare to them.
For a book with a post-apocalyptic plot, this is soooooooo boring. And the characters are all one-dimensional. They're all like a walking stereotype. The main character is a bit of a nerd but wow, maybe he can be a leader? And then there's this girl who is mean and bitchy and can kill you in cold blood. And then that calm hotel staff who leads them. Then there's a man who wants to build his own harem because it's the end of the world! We need to repopulate! 🙄 They're all so boring you wouldn't care for them.
And since there's a nuclear war, instead of focusing on how people survived while being trapped in a hotel, the author chose to focus on investigating a murder. I understand the wish for a mystery but it didn't add to anything. The truth about the murder in the end is so ridiculous.
